Download

I had some trouble creating the native packages and even the jar file, since now the project is structured in several modules. I will work on it and I will upload the release packages when I’ll achieve this. Running as described as described in the following section is the recommended way.

How to build and run

To build you need at least Java 8 update 40 and Maven

  1. Clone Musicott at any directory git clone https://github.com/octaviospain/Musicott.git
  2. Build with maven at Musicott’s root folder (where pom.xml is located) with mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
  3. Install this two required jar libraries into the local maven repository executing 
     mvn install:install-file -Dfile=application/lib/TarsosTranscoder-1.2.jar -DgroupId=be.tarsos -DartifactId=transcoder -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=jar
 mvn install:install-file -Dfile=common/lib/iTunesUtilities.jar -DgroupId=com.worldsworstsoftware -DartifactId=itunesutilities -Dversion=1.2 -Dpackaging=jar
